I have green spider veins on the top part of my buttocks and I would like to know if there's a good doctor and affordable doctor that can remove these how long will it take and will it be painful?
Answer: Choosing between different varicose vein and spider vein treatments It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Spider veins Consider a full venous reflux initial evaluation with a vein specialist to determine if an underlying venous insufficiency is present. Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to help the blood return back to the heart. Using ultrasound to scan the lower extremities including your area of concern, the physician will determine if venous reflux is present. Signs and symptoms of venous reflux are varicose veins, leg or ankle swelling, leg heaviness and fatigue, leg pain, aching or cramping, burning or itching of the skin among other symptoms. Your physician can help you decide what treatment or combination of treatments is best for you according to your specific goals. All the best,

Answer: Spider veins Smaller spider veins can easily be targeted with IPL or the Yag laser. We do these treatments all the time and have a lot of success with them. For larger veins, sclerotherapy may be needed. This is a more involved process and requires an experienced practitioner as well. Your best bet would be to have an initial consultation so that you can get the best recommendation. Hope that helps.

Answer: Buttock Veins The veins posted in the picture can be treated by sclerotherapy which is an office procedure done without the need for anesthesia. Some times more than one session is necessary. If you have many veins then one would have to also consider underlying pelvic conjestion.
